\n\tPhoebe Bridgers<\/a> has never been shy about professing her love for mainstream country music. In one interview, she and her boygenius bandmates went on and on about the merits of Hardy<\/a> and his song \u201cTruck Bed.\u201d Apparently, the Lost Weekend<\/a><\/em> songwriter is familiar with the oeuvre of Brad Paisley<\/a> too.<\/p>\n \n\tDuring his interview with Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s Nashville Now<\/em> podcast, Paisley recalled being at \u201can event\u201d with Bridgers where she began citing some of his songs back to him. One in particular \u2014 \u201cCamouflage,\u201d his salute to the green, brown, black, and gray pattern of hunters everywhere\u00a0\u2014 threw him for a loop.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThis was one of the greatest things I\u2019ve ever been told by somebody I enormously respect,\u201d Paisley says. \u201cPhoebe Bridgers was throwing out songs of mine she loves to me and said, \u2018Camouflage.\u2019 I was like, \u2018What is happening?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tReleased on Paisley\u2019s 2011 album This Is Country Music<\/em>, \u201cCamouflage\u201d is a signature Paisley humor song, with lyrics about wearing camo tuxedos to prom and driving a camo-painted Chevy Cavalier that is nearly invisible. It also makes the point that the best, and least offensive, sartorial display of Southern pride is camouflage.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI wish I\u2019d asked her why,\u201d Paisley says. \u201cThe idea that we wrote a fun, funny song about that, maybe that\u2019s what appealed to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
